INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is still the leading bidder to buy Man Utd as the takeover process rumbles on, according to reports...
Ratcliffe ‘remains the leading candidate’ to become the new owner of Man Utd ‘despite an inconclusive board meeting held late last week’.‘Sky News understands that directors of the Premier League club’s holding company met on Thursday to discuss the progress of its £5bn-plus auction.
‘A source close to the auction said the directors did not opt to enter into exclusive negotiations with either Ineos Sports or its principal rival, the Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani.’ The first quarter of the year was initially recognised as a key time in a process that has rumbled on and threatened to overshadow United’s push for a Champions League qualification place.
